International audience; Cases of hemorrhagic septicemia because of Pasteurella were mainly in fallow deer, pigs, cattle, or horses generally in a tropical area where it is endemic. The infected animals present high fever, significant asthenia, diffuse hemorrhage, subcutaneous edema, hypersalivation, and diarrhea; sometimes, the disease can cause sudden death.2 The diagnosis of hemorrhagic septicemia does not refer to human beings.
